Canon Story: The Yellow Face
Title: The Red Face
Author: Mary Sutherland
Rating: PG


I have often teased Watson for his deductive mistakes; perhaps it is right that he should have his revenge and display my own fallibility to the world. Mistaking a woman's motives, of course, as I have done on other occasions. The good doctor sees nothing but an angel in every beautiful woman; on this occasion, he was – unlike me – correct.

Note: Watson doesn't actually tell us about Effie Munro's looks, but since almost all Conan Doyle's heroines are beautiful, I'm assuming she was as well.

Yes, the ladies do seem to be an attractive bunch:-)

Occasionally you CAN judge on appearance:-)

I think your assumption is probably correct. They do all seem to be remarkably good-looking, don't they?

on this occasion, he was – unlike me – correct.
I wonder if Holmes learns anything from this, or just takes it as a fluke.
